Hotel Zen in Malaga

Basically good Hotel. 24/7 reception. Chosen to stay one Night close to the Airport (10 min Drive by Car). Offers free Shuttle Service to the Airport.

Really lovely small personal Hotel. Staff very friendly spoke English. Great view from room 208. Huge balcony. It felt like we were In the Forrest but a few minutes from the beach so great location. Parking was a bit of an issue but normal for area. Will definitely go again.

Verry nice hotel, everything is clean, nice pool. Unfortunately the beach is 1.7 km away walking.

Lousy hotel not worth even 1 star. Paid breakfast in advance and on first day was told we were too late even though we still had 5 minutes left on the official time but their “local time” clock was set 5 minutes ahead. No word of excuse or time to let us even take one coffee by the unfriendly fat woman in charge. The food served is very low quality, undrinkable artificial “Tang” juice, dairy and fresh products at room temperature (that is over 20°C), butter melted in its package and yoghurt warm. I became sick after eating some ham because of that. Do these people ever get checked ?Very noisy rooms, earplugs mandatory if you expect to sleep even for a few hours.Eye mask also recommended as there are no shutters, only curtains letting light through.There was a very bad smell in the bathroom as well.The maids were nice but there is no way to tell them not to enter the room (no “do not disturb” signs providedso they entered the room several times without warning while we were sleeping or taking a nap. Not their fault as it signs should be provided but very annoying anyhow.Very bad experience overall, definitely not worth more than a 1 star hotel, we don’t recommend you to stay there.

Fabuloso only more-so!Great for airport

Modern and clean rooms with air conditioning. Nice pool and other outdoor facilities if you want to chill-out for a while.Staff is friendly and the area is quiet and safe.I would like to have more breakfast options like plain croissants...but nothing serious.

Would have given this place a better rating had it not been for the confusion EVERY MORNING when going for the Breakfast included in the Bed & Breakfast deal that we had. Its a cold buffet of meats, cheese and eggs along with cereal and a choice of juices and hot beverages. Some of the staff need a better attitude to their customers. The pool was nice, but small, with a bar ONeil that was open at the same time. The restaurant was nice though and I enjoyed the pasta & pizza. Its close to the airport and has a free bus to transfer you to there or to the beach.

Hotel rooms was clean and comfortable, have a climatization and big bathroom. Food in hotels restaurant was really good. Best pizza ever, but too less salt. Serwer Pacho was nice and didnt make problem for anything. Another points for him to being handsome. I was dissapointment to closed swimming pool about 22 :( I recommend.

Everyone was so helpful and kind to my friend and I. We enjoyed our stay :)

Beware before booking this hotel since their incompetent staff might deny your reservation for no reason and hold you up in front desk for half an hour to find your reservation.The hotel (self called hotel, it’s just an awful motel not hotelis really bad! The beds are awful and retain your body heat and you’ll be soaked in your sweat over night. there’s no hanger in the bathroom to hang towels and everything is dirty and poorly maintained. Don’t fall for it’s low price and avoid it. Most of these 5* reviews are from their friends and families. No way this premise gets this many 5s.

Only slightly better than sleeping in the airport. No windows in the room, shower didn’t drain, broken outlet in the bathroom (dangerous)- NOTHING ZEN ABOUT IT

I cannot express enough how amazing this place is.We chose this hotel because we were aware that they had the airport shuttle and that was something very important for us because we did not want to spend money on getting to the hotel. Super easy to access you basically leave The airport and go right to an area where it says courtesy buses, when you get there you have to call them and let them know that you are waiting, they take about 15 minutes to get there, May be a little bit more if they are dropping someone off but usually 15 minutes. Who won thing I will say though beware that sometimes if in the reception they are busy they might not answer your call because they’re dealing with another person there so just keep calling and I know the times they’re not trying to ignore you it’s just that they’re dealing with another customer and they’re not seeing that you are calling. Anyways upon arrival the receptionist was super nice we got treated super well super kind, we were given the room 202, in the most perfect location ever, The walls all around the hotel were super clean and white which is often a problem when you go to White hotels, not here tho.When we arrive to our room we were in love everything and more than what we were expecting. Everything was clean and tidy and we even have a balcony. I definitely recommend if you would like some peace and quiet to get rooms in the white arch area which you can see in the pictures, mainly because it’s a little bit more secluded and it gives you almost a feeling that you are in your own little resort section.The daily cleaners were the kindest ever they were super super nice we attended to all of our needs and even when we had queries about it how to get to Málaga City Centre and everything they were super helpful.The swimming pool sometimes is busy sometimes is not there were days where we would spend the whole day at the swimming pool and at one given time there was maybe two other people and there were some days were there were 4 families there. However bury mind even A lot of people were around the swimming pool area it didn’t feel overwhelming. There is a small gym I really wanted to use it but I was on holidays obviously I didn’t👀There is an eating area outside just next to the pool, and an Irish Pub however during all day it wasn’t open I assume it will only be open to a peak time. There is a pizzeria in the hotel it smelled really nice when we walked by.There is a little market place just down the hill to the hotel which makes buying drinks and snacks really easy.I did wish that they had a nice machine somewhere in the location of the swimming pool / eating area because it was super warm and I had to continuously go to the restaurants and reception to request ice.If you are looking for a good deal with luxury feel this is the place!

Kudos for the Shuttle that picks you up from the airport.No hot water to shower, but probably just a temporary issue.

The man on the front desk was rude and misogynistic, implying we didnt know how to use their website to find a contact email. He was also serving beers rather than being at the desk, leaving people waiting for him. Room looked fine but upon inspection had bugs on the wall, a spider in the bed after removing the top sheet, towels that werent anywhere near clean with massive stains on them, the remote control looks like it hasnt seen a cleaning product in 10 years, the corners of the room were in dire need of scrubbing - overall the room looked unfinished. There were also flies in the room with no windows or doors open so we have no idea how they got there. DO NOT GO HERE! The manager cant even be bother to lift a finger and reply to my email. We checked in and checked back out within an hour and they wont offer us a refund. This entire hotel is a far cry from what a hotel should be and the manager and owner should be ashamed of themselves - but they wont be because they lack any common sense and decency. As a travel blogger, this is by far the WORST HOTEL IVE EVER BEEN TO. If youre thinking of booking this hotel , a hostel or a hole in the ground would be a better option.

Small but clean room very good for price paid, nice quiet area with pool and free shuttle service to beach or about 25 min walk helpful staff

They cancel our booking 3 hours before our arrival to hotel. Travelling with kids really disappointed. Please avoid them scammers😡

Great option when you need to stay close to the airport. Friendly and helpful staff. Late hours supermarket with the basics nearby.Hard to fall asleep as it was very loud, felt like every sound from other occupants came from within our own room - doors opening and closing, furniture dragging on the floors, voices.

Great accommodation, beautiful views, and free shuttle bus to and from aeroport

Pretty cheap and only a walk away from the beach, although a little bit loud at night

A bad smell in the whole room disturbed my stay for the night I spent there. A pity as the building is nice. Bed was also not really comfortable.

Very unfriendly. The hotel need to be renovated. The rooms smells not well.Not honest people. They let you pay for things that wasn’t agreed.

Terrible management!! We booked 5 rooms and for some parking issues, thee refused us to stay but our rooms were payed already!! The manager wanted extra money and was looking to get us out! Crazy!

The hotel is clean, comfortable, perfect for the airport and beach. Friendly staff. Nice little pool. Clean rooms. Central but quiet. I live local but use it with friends fir visits.

nice room, bed and pool area. would be good with a mini fridge but plus for coffee in the room and quick transfer. breakfast simple nothing special. close to train station La Colina.

Liked this hotel very close to airport free shuttle to and from the hotel rooms were OK my room had a black painted roof really didnt like that didnt help with clostraphobia but would stay there again

It was clean and comfortable.And their Airport drop off and pick up service is so great! Thanks to all the staff! They are doing a great job! Gracias

Good clean place. The airport shuttle services worked a treat for us. Was clean room and definitely a good place to stay. They have a good in house restaurant but there is a supermarket literally two minutes walk away and a nice selection of restetraunts within a 7 minute walking radius. So definitely good spot. Friendly informative staff.

Cozy, cute, welcoming, the room was pretty ... it had such a nice detail, clean. I didn’t like the restaurant food- Italian. But, I will go there again definitely!!!

Great for the airport shuttle. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Restaurant food not brilliant but definitely edible. Thoroughly recommend as good price too.

Brill stopover for the airport and Traí.n station. Very clean and very friendly, smallish room but good, slept well. Will use it again

Over all not bad, big room, nice bathroom, kind of close to the beach, but there were ants in my bed, the air conditioner didnt work for a lil, so I didnt enjoy the experience here, dont recommend it either

Very clean hotel, staff very goodNeeds a ice cube machine, and the little cooler in the room was inadequateWould I stay again YES

For a 3 star hotel at this price, really good. but I give only 4 stars, because the gap under the room door has been too large. This allows you to hear loud and clear when talking like someone outside.

We stayed there about 2 years ago it was bloody disgusting. The room was horrible .the loungers at the pool were filthy. They said we would get a lift to the airport when we booked. They changed their mind at last minute and we asked for an alarm call .we are still waiting never would recommend this to anyone

The staff is very friendly and they help you in everything they can. The airport service is fantastic. The facilities are fantastic, the rooms are very clean, but very damaged. The walls were moldy, the air did not work, the doors were broken and opened without the need for the card (this endangers people and especially children). Its a shame, because its a very quiet and beautiful hotel.

Very good value for money and a great find. Shuttle bus to and from the airport was an asset. Food ok and well priced and drinks reasonable too. Bedroom furniture a bit worn and Spanish only TV a bit of a pain but otherwise a very good stay

Great hotel! The service was really good, with courtesy bus from and to the airport, the beach and the city. The staff is really thoughtful and helpful, the rooms are great, its far but they have with a good view of the ocean. The food in the hotels restaurant is also great. We stayed only for one night, but we recommend it.

Nice little gem of a hotel when traveling to or from the airport. Basic but good enough. Nice food. Staff excellent and free transfers to/from hotel.

Nice quite small hotel. Staff friendly and helpful if you are on half board unsatisfaction comes up with very limited choices. Nothing but chicken chicken and chicken. Seafood salade served with just surimi a complete fiasco and not good at all.

Very nice open hotel not too far from the city attraction and airport. Offers free ride to the nearby attraction and airport. Rooms have comfortable bed and a large bathroom with ocean view. Inroom wifi not so good.

Great find, small rooms but tick the boxes, comfy bed, great, shower, free airport pick up a bonus. Small but lovely pool Tea, never busy,, could b tricky for the infirm as quite hilly

Nice quiet hotel, a bit out of the way but the hotel is great for the price

Simple clean room. Stayed just the 1 night. Unbelievable price considering the free airport shuttle each way. Good breakfast. Staff helpful and pleasant. A special mention to Daniel for the bar chat. Would recommend.

The beds were comfortable. The room was a bit run down. When we went to have breakfast after check out the restaurant was closed so we went next door to have a yummy breakfast. The price was good for our room and it is very close to the airport.

A very nice clean hotel and polite staff. The food, service and location Is all excellent. I would recommend to anyone wishing for a quiet peaceful and relaxing stay to make their booking here.

Great place for travelers. The rooms are simple but reasonably clean. There is very nice atmosphere in the hotel and very helpful staff. Excellent breakfast and very good choice of food in the restaurant. All is reasonably priced. The free airport shuttle is a great help.

Nice, clean, quiet place and 20 minutes walk to beach. Staff is very cheerful and helpful.

Good place to spend the night if you arrive late or depart early. Close to airport and train station. Could have been a bit cleaner

Nice place and friendly staff. Work was carried out next to our room but staff were happy to quickly change us.

The room was good, although pillows were hard. Nice, friendly staff, and dinner was beautiful although it was slow service (I belIve they were short staffed in the kitchen). Location is 12 min walk from town centre, in a hilly area, but if you dont mind that very good location
